Can you see what I'm saying?
Last night we had an insane wind storm that just wouldn't stop.

I lost trees in my front yard and backyard and now I have about 3 widow makers (those scare me). The trees that fell are called Cottonwoods. Cottonwoods are fairly flexible and grow at alarming speeds. However, when they become water-logged they get really heavy and can stap just like a toothpick. That's what happened last night.

Here is what is left of my Taurus. She didn't deserve an ending like this. I feel as though I have lost part of my family. I posted as thumbnails because I know full pictures are hard for some to load and I'm certain not everyone has interest in looking at 10 pictures of my rotten luck! So if you are interested, just click on the picture and it will become bigger.

Support your local demo derby.

Ouch! At least no one was hurt. Can't say the same for the ol' ford though.

Thanks everyone! I normally don't post anything about my personal life, so I am sorry for doing so. I admit this has me really upset. I really thank you all for your kind words. I am also thankful that no one was hurt, but it was at 5am and we already removed all the trees that should be able to reach the house.

Again, thank you all.
